BEHIND THE WEB

21 July 2016

A lot has been happening all around the globe this time around. Meanwhile Kabali fever grips the nation!!!! (Oh my God, how contagious is it gonna be)
It is normally a trend in India - movie release is always associated with a celebration of a community of people who call themselves to be 'Fans' to the hero of the particular movie. People consider it as a pilgrimage to visit the theatres for the First Show of the movie. (FDFS - First Day First Show as they call.)
I usually don't ever care which movie is released when. But recently I've been hearing a lot about Kabali because of the unusual hype that is happening all around. The movie features the Superstar of the Tamil industry Mr.Rajinikanth!
He is no doubts a talented actor who still has a good market and stronghold in the industry.
But there’s unprecedented pre-release buzz for this particular film which is totally weird and unacceptable. Why this pointless exaggeration????( I know I'm likely to be insulted for stating this 😁 of which I'm least bothered about😂)

The irony is that there are still people who worship actors like anything. According to me this is total stupidity.
I even heard of corporates declaring holiday for the day of release of this movie. I just don't understand why the same morons who do not even care about the well being of their employees during calamity, or give sufficient maternity leave, or grant them leave to celebrate a special occasion with the family are all of a sudden so concerned about the release of a movie???
I came across an image that poked me deep inside. Yeah! It was the image of a pastry with the Kabali theme.
I really value the creator of the pastry and I know the amount of perseverance that has gone into its creation. But I really feel pity about the clients who ate it up! Seriously now Kabali has been eaten up somewhere around!!! LOL
My highest expectation as of now is that, as the theme Kabali has now started entering all business sectors, now there will be a heavy competition between firms that are introducing Kabali products. (Even Uber has announced discounts!)
I'm looking forward to the following versions of the same:
1. Barbequed Kabali
2. Kabali Kotthu Parrota
3. Creamstone Kabali

Oh comeon...... Wake up people......It's only a movie .......an entertainment after all!!

TheZentralfriedhof is
the Central Cemetery of Vienna. It isone of the largest cemeteries in the world, largest
by number of interred in Europeand most famouscemeteryamongVienna's nearly 50 cemeteries. It is situated on the
outskirts of the city, in the district ofSimmering (Simmeringer
Hauptstraße 230–244, Vienna 1110, Austria).
The giant cemetery spans to an area of about 2.4 square kilometres (590 acres). It accommodates over 330.000
graves. The cemetery was designed
in 1870, according to the plans of the Frankfurt landscape architects Karl
Jonas Mylius andAlfred Friedrich Bluntschli.
The cemetery was opened onAll Saints' Dayin
1874.

Zentralfriedhof has a dead population of almost twice the present living
residents ofVienna. In its early incarnations,
it was so unpopular due to the distance from the city center that the
authorities had to think of ways to make it more attractive – hence the
development of theEhrengräberor honorary graves as a kind of
tourist attraction. Vienna is a city of music since time immemorial, and the
municipality expressed gratitude to composers by granting them monumental
tombs. The notable tombs found here are those ofLudwig van Beethoven,Franz
Schubert, Johannes Brahms,Antonio
Salieri,Johann
Strauss IIandArnold
Schoenberg. AcenotaphhonoursWolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who is buried in
nearbySt. Marx
Cemetery.

Schubert's tomb!

Brahms' tomb!

Beethoven's tomb

Mozart's memorial!

The church in the centre of the cemetery is namedKarl-Borromäus-Kirche (Charles BorromeoChurch), but is also known asDr.Karl-Lueger-Gedächtniskirche (Karl Lueger Memorial Church). This church inArt Nouveaustyle was built in 1908–1910 by Max Hegele.

We were lucky enough to strike poses near few of the massive tombs!

Interestingly
the Zentralfriedhof is interdenominational with not only the Catholic and Protestant but also the Jewish, Muslim,
Russian orthodox, Greek Orthodox,Romanian Orthodox, Bulgarian Orthodox,Serbian Orthodox,Coptic Orthodox Churches and even Buddhist cemeteries. Among the Viennese, a popular euphemism for a death is that the deceased
person "has taken the 71"("Er hat den 71er genommen"). Oopsies.... Apparenty "Tram 71" was the one most used by us during the trip!!!
